Manchester United are looking to sign top young talents and one target has the backing of former boss Ralf Rangnick.
Ineos invested in five first-team signings over the summer but have clearly placed an emphasis on young talents at Manchester United.
Leny Yoro was a fine example of that as United agreed a deal worth up to £52million for the teenage defender.
United also landed 18-year-old midfielder Sekou Kone, bringing the Mali youth international to Old Trafford.
Australian talent James Overy arrived whilst United also snapped up Crystal Palace talent Samuel Lusale.
After those two signings, United finalised the signing of Chido Obi-Martin as the Arsenal goalscoring sensation made a big move.

Manchester United want Oghenetejiri Kenneth Adejenughure
This approach is likely to continue moving forward and United already have another target in mind.
The Guardian note that United are interested in signing Oghenetejiri Kenneth Adejenughure from Austrian side Liefering.
It’s suggested that United have joined AC Milan and Borussia Dortmund in following Adejenughure with reports from earlier this year noting United’s interest.
Adejenughure is thought to have really caught the eye of Austria manager and former United boss Ralf Rangnick.
Rangnick held a camp for you talents over the summer and Adejenughure caught his eye in the process.
Rangnick is believed to have tipped Adejenughure to become a top player in the coming years having been impressed with his talent.
We may not have seen the best of Rangnick as a manager at Untied but his reputation as a talent spotter is outstanding.
Adejenughure would be another exciting striker signing alongside Obi-Martin but United clearly face competition for his signature.
Who is Oghenetejiri Kenneth Adejenughure?
Adejenughure was born in Austria but is the son of Nigerian parents, meaning that he can represent either nation at senior level.
Adejenughure has so far represented Austria though, smashing goal after goal for the Under-16’s and Under-17’s.
The 17-year-old started with First Vienna and Rapid Wien before joining Red Bull Salzburg in 2021.
Now featuring for partner club Liefering, Adejenughure is considered one of the top prospects in the Red Bull Salzburg setup.
The move to Liefering allows Adejenughure to play regular second-tier football in Austria and United will no doubt keep close tabs on him.
